You are right prakash, I use Fedora 8 , sudo was not available to me when installed. I had to edit /etc/sudoers to get it working.

Actually i never liked sudo much.. I just used to su and login as root. Felt more powerful that way. i know it sounds foolish..

use SSH for much more power su doesn't allow you to specify commands like service (you have to issue the path /sbin/service) and useradd. userdel, etc.

If need such commands i simply use SSH
